The concrete patterns in the fa\u00e7ade as well as some segments of the other elevations stretch inward to become a screen over the pool, giving privacy to the users and a sense of intimate space. Of course, this feature also gives this outdoor area character and vivid grid-like shadows when the sun shines strongly down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Along the first storey\u2019s length, a wall of pocket floor-to-ceiling windows opens the common spaces to the view of tall plants along the pool and terrace. With not much views outside to look out to given the dense residential context, this is vital in creating a pleasant feeling for everyday living.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis house continues HYLA Architects\u2019 tradition of blurring inside and outside<\/a> even in a small site and in a very congested urban context,\u201d affirms Han. In the bathrooms, the sense of the outdoors continues with landscaping growing in planters. \u201cEvery room also has its own terrace and landscaping theme,\u201d Han highlights on the dedication of the semi-detached house to the concept.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The concrete patterns in the fa\u00e7ade as well as some segments of the other elevations stretch inward to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25062,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[76,354,355,13213,11146,49,48,20338,356,75,20331,20336,20330,20334,20339,20333,20328,20335,20329,20332,20337],"class_list":{"0":"post-25061","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-biophilic-design","12":"tag-brutalism","13":"tag-ca","14":"tag-canada","15":"tag-concrete-and-brick-architecture","16":"tag-design","17":"tag-entertainment","18":"tag-hyla-architects","19":"tag-modern-singapore-homes","20":"tag-opera-estate","21":"tag-semi-d-house","22":"tag-semi-detached","23":"tag-semi-detached-homes","24":"tag-semi-detached-house","25":"tag-siglap","26":"tag-siglap-house","27":"tag-soft-brutalism","28":"tag-urban-greenery"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25061"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25061\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
